I saw this hex editor and wondered if using it was a simple as extracting the files into there appropriate directories?

Thanks b1m1

Could be, but it could just as easily not run, depending on whether DSL has all necessary libs and other dependencies.  I don't know what Mono is, but i don't recall seeing it in DSL...that may be small problem.  Another possible problem is that it is an RPM package, for which DSL has no support.  You'd need to either add RPM to DSL or extract the files in a distro that already has RPM support.

Yes it looks like I need to install the Mono libraries for this to run.
Bugger, linux programs are bigger than win32 programs .. so many libraries
note to self: console apps rule

thanks. regards b1m1

There is the aliendebs.dsl , which will convert the RPM into a .deb file.

From there, you could use ' dpkg-deb -x nameofdeb.deb . ' to extract it
into the directory that you have the RPM and .deb copy parked in..

Then you could look thru the files, see what can be stripped,
add needed libs, tar it up into a tarball, make a list of contents,
and then proceed like making any other extension.
